No One Person Should Control AGI

No single person should have total control over OpenAI or over AGI; a robust governance system with balance of power is needed, and ultimately governments must put rules of the road in place because no company should be making these decisions alone. Notably, although the board legally had the ability to fire him, in practice it did not work, which is itself a governance failure.
